My talk is about the future of energy grids and we will be unveiling what that means along the presentation
If you are older than 15 you witnessed a couple of major technological revolutions: the Internet and the explosion of Mobile Communications. Im not going to elaborate on them, we all know how much they transformed society, and how much we miss them when we don’t have them.
